Breath of EGYPT 

Are you feeling the pull to Egypt?  Join me on an epic journey through this ancient land. Discover the profound connection between breath, spirit, and the timeless wisdom of ancient Egypt on this once-in-a-lifetime retreat. Designed for seekers, healers, and those yearning for deeper self-awareness and healing across lifetimes, this sacred journey will guide you through Egypt's most mystical and awe-inspiring sites, all while engaging in curated breathwork journeys and other healing modalities that align body, mind, and soul with the ancient intelligence of this sacred place. 

The Host

I, Claudia Nanino, am a master breathwork facilitator, crystal curator, and an explorer of non-ordinary states of consciousness.  I've led thousands of breathwork journeys and never cease to be amazed by the power of this modality and the type of people it attracts: fellow seekers and self healers (you). I've been deeply focused on healing my heart and am eager to share the knowledge and practices that have benefitted me.  ​​I've facilitated retreats for the last 8 years and am excited for this one to be the most mystical one yet.

I'm working with Rabie Khaled, Egyptologist, Khmetologist, and expert guide, to produce this epic journey.
